Independent U.S. Senate candidate Greg Orman made a statement on Tuesday’s primary election:

“I congratulate the winning primary candidates and welcome them to the general election.

We all know that voters are fed up with the partisan bickering and finger pointing that has Washington tied in political knots. I have the highest hopes that this U.S. Senate race will be focused on the critical issues facing this nation and not on petty personal attacks that seek to divide us.

This election will present Kansans with a clear choice between more of the tired, partisan nonsense that’s led us to where we are now, or a fresh, common-sense, independent leader committed to reforming Congress and the way it operates who will make a real difference for Kansas and the United States of America.

I look forward to debating my opponents throughout the summer and fall while we continue our outreach to Independents, Democrats and Republicans across Kansas.”
